Steffen Becker 7e0f9ca617 docs: the font licenses ship with the fonts, the notices name them all
public/ is copied verbatim into the build, src/assets/ is not - so the fonts
were deployed without the license texts that OFL-1.1 and Bitstream Vera require
to travel with them. Moving the texts to public/font-licenses/ fixes that with
no build step. The notices covered only Liberation and missed five bundled
dependencies; the commercial license now states what it cannot relicense, the
copyleft German dictionary and thesaurus above all.

▶ Open EdenText


EdenText is a web-based, powerful word processor for everything from quick notes to full-length books. No server, no account — processing runs locally and your documents never leave your computer. Just one URL away, or completely offline as a slim browser app — only ~1 MB1 .

Note

EdenText is young, in beta and actively developed — more features are on the way. It is tested — the full suite plus LibreOffice round-trip checks run on every commit — but expect occasional bugs, and keep backups of documents you care about.

Features

  • Real page layout — A4/Letter pages, margins, headers & footers, footnotes, columns, page numbering, watermarks, ...
  • Opens and saves .odt and .docx, exports PDF; templates (.ott/.dotx)
  • Styles — paragraph, character and table styles with inheritance
  • Tables with styles, sorting and spreadsheet-style formulas
  • Everything a thesis needs — table of contents, captions, cross-references, citations & bibliography, alphabetical index, formulas (LaTeX)
  • Review tools — track changes, comments, spell check (English & German), synonyms
  • Private by design — your documents never leave your computer, all processing runs locally; works offline as an installable app

npm install
npm run dev      # dev server with hot-reload
npm test         # test suite
npm run build    # production build → dist/

Built with Svelte 5, TypeScript, Vite and TipTap 3 (ProseMirror).
